I grew up in a medium sized village in Hampshire, England. At first, I played drums in various bands ranging from funk, to metal but when I moved to Cambridge to study music, dived deeply into the underground music scene DJing at various raves and free parties including the infamous Strawberry Fair Dance Stage where I played a set of my own stuff out to about 10,000 people. I have enjoyed writing music since the age of twelve when I got my first PC based studio having learned about studio equipment from my Dad and also later on at Trinity Studios, Surrey.In 2003 I signed with Soul Syndicate Records (part of Rhythm Syndicate) just before the label went bust meaning that no tracks ever got released. Prior to that I released two records under the name The Hoodcrankers with one half of Sonic Generation; signed on Good Looking Records owned by L.T.J. Bookem. While later writing with Rowan Blades, originally half of Breeder, (Not Over Yet Ft. Grace) I learned all my tricks of the trade from Sasha's mix engineer Naughty G, and also Darren Philips who where often in session at the label's in-house studio.Presently, I use my all-singing all-dancing PC based studio to produce my music utilising dirty low-fi breaks, driving funky house, trip hop, melodic twisted electronica, and above all, stomping production.I'm also collaborating with DJ Smyley Jay doing some squelchy breakbeat stuff and we are both in a band called Fusa, doing rockin funkin squelch punk.If you want to hear more music I've produced, go to Phileas Fog's MySpace page. It's totally different to this stuff. Check it out.
By the way, if you have a good singing voice or you can spit, we should meet up and do some music.I am also looking for a label to sign some of my stuff. I'm really holding back on myspace as i don't want to put any of my best stuff up here as labels won't touch it if it's been on here first. Plus some of it is sample based.
If you want to hear that stuff, give me a message.
